It's actually restricting our thought to an annoying extent that we've overloaded the term "operating system" so much. This isn't Sandstorm's fault -- Windows already has billions of people thinking "operating system" == "desktop environment" so the ship has already sailed. I would really like a word that describes this set: + Unix CLI + WIMP desktops + Browsers + iOS touch interface + Android touch interface + Emacs (when used for general computing) Perhaps "user environment" would work? EDIT: For me at least "platform" doesn't quite fit. I think whatever word is best should imply "single user interface" which platform doesn't necessarily.
